All the Devils' hottest news, from notes to numbers to neutral-zone traps

Now former Devil Colin White wasn't an unrestricted free agent for long.

The San Jose Sharks have signed the 33-year-old defenseman to a one-year contract for $1 million.

White was to make $3 million in the final season of his contract with the Devils before he was put through waivers and bought out on Tuesday, making him an unrestricted free agent. The Devils will be charged $1 million against the cap each of the next two seasons for buying out White's contract (2/3 the remaining value on the contract spread over twice the remaining years).
